1.55 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

From the windswept gravels of Montana to the careful hands that bring it to life, this greenish blue sapphire tells a story of place and patience. Formed over eons beneath the earth, this transparent gem was found in the storied sapphire gravels of Montana, where cold rivers and mountain runoff concentrate corundum into pockets and alluvial deposits. At 1.55 carats and measuring 6.69 x 8.63 x 2.55 mm, this stone began as rough crystal and gradually revealed its true potential through the work of miners, sorters, and cutters. The Natural Sapphire Company sources sapphires with respect for their origins, and this piece carries the quiet honesty of Montana terrain, the subtle complexity of alpine light, and the promise of being fashioned into something treasured.

The transformation from rough to rare is where this sapphire truly earns its distinction. Skilled cutters selected a fancy shape to maximize the stone face up, producing a unique silhouette that balances modern design with classical proportion. With an intense color intensity and a clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, the gem offers a lively depth of tone without losing transparency. The facet arrangement and excellent polish amplify internal reflections, creating flashes of teal, sea green, and deep ocean blue as the light moves across its surface. Enhancement by heat treatment was performed to gently refine the hue and clarity, a widely accepted practice that stabilizes and heightens the natural beauty while preserving the sapphire character. The result is a gem that reads both natural and meticulously finished.

There is a narrative quality to wearing a Montana sapphire that makes it suitable for both intimate everyday moments and landmark celebrations. This gem carries with it the cool quiet of mountain water, which makes it comfortable with casual attire and effortless in day to day life. At the same time, its intense, elegant color and eye catching cut respond to evening light with a composed brilliance that elevates formal attire. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this sapphire as a focal point for custom rings, pendants, or bespoke designs, enabling you to translate the stone story into jewelry that feels personal. Whether set in a simple bezel that honors the stone form, or surrounded by a halo that raises its presence for gala evenings, the gem is versatile by nature and by design.

Practical considerations make this sapphire a rewarding choice as well as a poetic one. Sapphires are known for their durability, and with regular gentle care this Montana stone will continue to reveal its depth for generations. Its measurements allow it to sit comfortably in many settings, offering designers room to play with line and light. Paired with cool white metals the greenish blue flashes will read as oceanic and modern, while warmer metals will bring out green undertones for a vintage or organic aesthetic. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are happy to advise on setting choices, custom sketches, and maintenance tips, ensuring your mounted gem retains its polish and presence. In short, this 1.55 carat transparent Montana sapphire is a bridge between wild origin and refined finish, a stone that moves seamlessly from everyday ease to formal statement, and a piece that invites the wearer to carry a landscape in miniature wherever they go.
